To anyone disliking the sound of this track, remember that it's the 2nd to last track on the album. The album is a concept album starting off dark and ending light. If this is one of the "lighter" tracks, I think we're in for a dark and heavy album
I think the fan base of Shinedown is so divided, and here’s why. There are generally two types of music fans; •fans who were in their teens or grew up when a band’s older music came out. These fans are typically used to the older sound, and get annoyed or upset when the band changes their sound(but there are exceptions) •fans who didn’t grow up when the music came out, and instead got into them at a rapid pace. As one of these fans, I can say, I’m more open to experimentation because I didn’t grow up on the music(even though I am 16, but you get my point). The older fans are understandably bitter when a band changes their sound because they’re likely more emotionally connected to this older, grungier sound. The newer fans are happy with the adaptations, but some tend to be toxic towards those who hate it, and vice versa(older fans attacking younger fans). The way I see it, we all have our music tastes, and we all have our own opinions. We all agree that we love shinedown, so why debate on if old shinedown is better compared to the new shinedown? It doesn’t really matter in the end. It’s still Shinedown. Personally, I love the new direction. I hope this album is way more diverse and different from their previous record, but that’s my opinion.
I've said this countless times about Shinedown; they are one of the most underrated bands in the past 20 years to come on the scene, and honestly the best hard rock band to actually reach the mainstream in the past 20 years. They are such a solid band, and in my opinion, Brent Smith has become one of the best vocalists in rock music history (Yes, I dared to say that). He's versatile, and when he sings at different octaves, he does it flawlessly. And now, we hear an improvement in his more aggressive vocal delivery. Now, not to forsake the rest of the band. . .The percussion and bass are great, and Myers' guitar work spot on. The production on this is awesome too. The slight electronic touch on the riffing is perfect for the song, and the BRIDGE is incredibly catchy. I LOVE THIS SONG. It gets better each time I hear it. Can't wait for the new album!
can y'all keep your negative opinions to yourself in the comments pls don't derail someone expressing their joy with your negative feelings, let people be happy pls
I came here because people don't stop of criticize their new songs for the "new style" but I just can hear the same Shinedown with little changes like every new album of any band. I like your progress, keep in that way guys!
